how do I...

[eshort]

need to access the run panel to use msconfig

how doi bring up the run box (to type in "msconfig")?

Is there a command runnable from the command prompt to do these tasks?..if so-what would be its syntax?

tx

on my other computers (with xp): "run" is listed on the panel openable from the start box..not so with this computer.

Try this

1. Open gpedit by double clicking on "gpedit.msc" (C:\WINNT\system32\gpedit.msc)
2. Open "User configuration" Administrative Templates >"Start Menu & Taskbar"
3. In the right pane find "Remove Run from start menu" and double click on it
4. Chose "Disable" and click OK
